Is Your Mind in Tune with God?

So not throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
HEBREW 10:35-36

When Paul Wrote to the Romans, he stressed the fact that your mind has to be renewed on a daily basis. You eat and bathe every day right? So what do you do on a daily basis to ensure that your mind is in tune with God's purpose and plan for your life?
      For centuries men and women have faced that issue. How do you survive in a world that seeks to force you into conformity with its thinking? Simply put, "How do you connect with God on a regular basis?" David when he was fleeing from Saul, cried out, "O God, You are my God, Early will I seek You. . . " (Psalm 63:1).
     What did David do to seek the Lord? First, he took time to mediate and wait upon the Lord. Then David regke TEF upon His promises. He ofte quoted Scripture back to God. He knew much of the Law given by Moses, and he knew how God spoke through the prophets and revealed His will regarding the decision of life and their consequences.
     In the same way take time on a daily basis to refresh your mind and spirit by opening your heart to what God wants. Keep a notebook right next to your Bible and record what you pray about, then as God responds, jot down a few thoughts about the way He answered.
     Paul told Christians at Rome that God's will is good. You can't separate the will of the Father from His nature and character. Paul also said, the more we understand God's will as our mind are renewed, the more we recognize that it is acceptable. Finally he says God's will is complete or whole something that we can only appreciate in retrospect.
